siddhi's eyes scanned the whole party hall for kunal...and failed to find him.'what!...😲 he went? this party was thrown for me...this poker-faced man don't had the manners to wish me...not even a hello...😡'
she was not aware that he went inside to meet her dadima.
kunal:' namaste maasi ji😊
dadima: ' kunal betey!...andar aao...😊' she invited him with a smile...she was relaxing on a double seater couch.he went and sat beside her...
kunal:'kaise ho...maasi ji...😊'
dadima: 'mai teek hun...tum bolo ?kuch dino se deghaye nahi de rahe te?...😊' she asked him with concern.
kunal:' 😊...wo my...' for some time they had formal talks.
siddhi was not aware when he went out of the malik house.she did not care too...
next day...it is a friday. siddhi was happy about it. ' today is friday...it is a week end.another two days i can be free from all the tension...particularly from that cold-head man..😛'she thought happily.poor girl she donot know that she is going to be mad during the week end that too because of kunal.

siddhi: "rohiiit..." she called her attender.(my sweetu...)
rohit:" ji ma'am..😊" he instantly stood at her service.
siddhi: 'latest designs approved file le aao...' she said looking in to her files.
rohit: 'wo tho kunal sir kay paas hai...😕' he stood hesitantly
siddhi: 'tho...?😡' she raised her head and gave him a angry look.
rohit: ' kunal sir tho aaj office nahi aaye...😊' he said keeping his tone low .
siddhi: "k..y..a..?...office nahi aaye..!!!😲" she was dazed...yesterday night he was very much in her party ...now sir absent from office...argh!...
siddhi : 'kyu...n?😕'
rohit: 'mujhe nahi pata..'
siddhi:'nahi pata matlab?😡
rohit:'...nahi patha...'
siddhi : "youuu...😡...call his assistance"
with in few minutes his assistance mr.warma 52 year ...elderly man entered her cabin.
siddhi: 'tumare saab aaj office kyun nahi aaye? 😡'her voice showed that she is angry.
warma: 'i don't know...😕' siddhi got annoyed with his blunt answer.
siddhi: 'what do you mean by " i don't know?"😡...you are his assistance you should know that..'...she yelled.
warma: ...he could not answer.
siddhi: 'does he has any outdoor schedule to day..?' she continued in her angry tone.
warma:' nahi tho...friday ka poora schedule M.D saab ne cancel kar diya...' he gave a piece of information.
siddhi: 'kya? friday ka poora schedule dad ne cancel kar wa di?😲'she raised her eyebrow.
warma:' ji ...'
siddhi: 'call him...😡'
warma:' M.D sir meeting mai hai...'
siddhi:'ugh!😡 i told you to call that khadoos...'
warma:' khadoos!😕 isse naam se yahan koi nahi hai...😕' he understood that whom she referring.
siddhi:' goddd...kya naam hai uss ka?😕...some chopda...😡' truly she could not get his name.
warma:' oh! kunal sir...😃...just a minute...' he tried to call from his cell.nobody picked up the phone.
warma: 'shayad wo ghar pe nahi hai..'
siddhi: 'call h..i..m on cell...😡'for every negative answer her tension increased.he tried again...
warma: 'it is out of reach...' ..he looked at her helplessly.
siddhi:'...ghar pe nahi hai...cell out of reach...ufff...you people are unbelievable ...you may go now...😡'she send him. siddhi was fuming in side...' where the heck he went?...what does he think about himself ?...yesterday he did not wish me...was missing from the middle of the party...today he don't even care to inform me about his absent...😡'those thought made her more angry.after that the whole day she cannot concentrate in her work.
evening she left the office without her job satisfaction.the whole night she was brooding about his absent. 'let him go to hell...why should i bother about him..'she was trying to convince herself.next day she woke up late because of her restless night.still her mind was thinking about his absent...' after her quick breakfast..she need to divert herself by going out for a small shopping.before leaving for shopping she went to dadima's room.
siddhi:'dadi...ma🤗' she went and hugged her from behind.
nanima: 'arey ye kya kar rahi ho...😃' siddhi made her dadima to sit on the sofa.she too sit with her.
siddhi: 'dadima mai shopping ja rahi hun...aap ko kya chahiye😃...'
dadima:'mujhe kuch nahi chahiye...bas tum kush raho...😃' she blessed stoking on her head.
when siddhi was talking to dadima she found a neatly folded milk white malmal handkerchief beside her.
siddhi:' 😕...she took it in her hand...felt the smell of men's colognes....lemon and lavender fragrance.
siddhi: 'dadima ye kerchief...?😕'she looked at her with a question mark on face.
dadima: 'ye tho kunal ka hai 😊. do din se yahan pada hua hai...'
siddhi:'k..u..nal...ka...yahan...?😲' she was surprised.
dadima:'party kay din milne aaya tha...shayad tab chod diya ho ga...😊'she said casually
'oh!...😊 that is why he was missing from the party. dadima is the right person to know about him...' she thought .
siddhi:'dadima tum kunal ko jan te ho kya...?😊'she asked her casually without showing her interest in him.
dadima: 'haaan...wo tho yahan aata jata raha ta hai.tumare dad ko uss se bahut lagav hai...😃'
siddhi:' issa kyun?...😕' she was curious.
dadima:'kyun ki wo bahut hunhar ladka hai.uss kay paas bahut saare khubiyan hai...jo tumare dad ko achcha lagta hai...'
'ho ga hunhar...khubi tho muje ek bhi , kisi bhi taraf se nazar nahi aara hai...😡'siddhi said to herself.
dadima:' kuch kaha kya?😕...'
siddhi:' nahi tho...' she refused.
dadima:' aur sab se badi baat... kunal kay papa tumare dad kay dost thay...'
siddhi:' seriously!...😊' this information was absolutely new to her.
dadima:' jab tum UK mai thi tumari poori zimme dari dad ne ussko sompa tha .tumara ghayal wahi rakta tha.university ka fees bhar na...tumare hostel warden se , principal se baat karna..yahi thak kay tumare semester marks sheets bhi wahi study karta tha...ab tumara office room bhi wahi furnish kiya.thodi din pahele tumare office room furnish karne kay leye tumara mann pasand rang muj se poocha tha...😃'
siddhi: ' what!...😲...he was my care taker...eww...i can'ot belive this...😲...is she kidding me?...😕'it was very difficult for her to believe.' that means he may be knowing every thing about me😡...including what i eat ,when i sleep...argh!...😡' hostel warden might have forwarded all her complains to him...'...
' not a problem mr.care taker ...aaj kay baad i will take care of you...watch.😡..'she went out of dadima's room with a fuming face.
she could not enjoy her shopping...while back home she took a turn towards her office.she knew pretty well, for all engineers saturday is a off.she walked in to her office.the assistance staffs were busy with their work.she went in to her cabin and took her seat.she herself don't understand why she came to the office.she called warma.
warma : ji...ma'am..' he came in.
siddhi:' kya aap kay saab...kunal aaj office aayeh hain?' this time she do not had any difficulty in remembering his name.
warma: 'wo kyun aate?...aaj tho sir ka off hai...😃' her face became debunked..she told him to bring some files which she don't want to look in to at all ..just to show them she was there to do some urgent work. ' kunal's where about only dad knows ...' she thought...
siddhi: ' damn 😡...' she agitated to realize both his present and absent bothering her.
on sunday she was awaiting for the monday.
finally... it is monday today.by sharp 9am she was in her office cabin.
